Examines asymmetric interfacial dynamics in nanodroplets, highlighting energy redistribution implications.
, better describes the spreading behavior than conventional inclination-independent correlations. Rebound analysis shows that the inclination angle regulates horizontal displacement, restitution coefficient, takeoff velocity, and contact time by altering momentum partition and asymmetric recoil. Energy analysis further indicates that although viscous dissipation increases with Weber number, its proportion relative to the initial kinetic energy decreases. More importantly, the coupling between oblique impact and droplet-size asymmetry activates a rolling-assisted rebound mode, providing an additional route for energy redistribution. These results reveal how dynamic and geometric asymmetries govern nanodroplet mobility on superhydrophobic surfaces.
